Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 266

The time quickly came to two days later, which was the first day of the new year – January 1, 1755 of the continental calendar.

The citizens of Ankerton ushered in the morning of the first day of the new year as the bells rang on the top of the Holy Spirit Cathedral.

In the early morning of this day, the citizens of Ankerton were woken up by the sound of gun salutes from outside the city. There were already many heavily armed soldiers standing in the streets.

On both sides of the street, every few meters stood a soldier who was full of energy and raised his chest. They stood with their rifles in front of them and looked straight ahead, like a pine, standing proudly.

These soldiers belonged to the divisions of the Fourth Army. As the direct line troops started by Charlie, the Fourth Army served as the security task for the city of Ankerton during the enthronement ceremony. This is an honorable task. Many years later, from the first Veterans of the Four Armies will recall this unforgettable day as they guarded the emperor’s coronation and witnessed the first emperor of the empire to be enthroned.

Due to time constraints, the new red military uniforms produced overnight from the garment factory could only be replaced by the soldiers in the Fourth Army who participated in the garrison mission, so all the citizens saw were the soldiers after the replacement.

After seeing the new set of clothes, the citizens couldn’t help but whisper and discuss with each other.

“I’ve never seen this new uniform before. Could it be that the soldiers of the Empire will all wear this suit in the future?”

“It’s so handsome. Compared with the blue-blue military uniform before, it’s the difference between a beggar and a rich man.”

“It’s a pity that I am relatively old, otherwise I must sign up for the army and wear this new military uniform, but I am majestic!”

“…”

The whispers of the citizens did not deliberately lower the volume, so many of them were heard by the soldiers standing guard on the street. After hearing the discussions, although their expressions did not change, they actually felt happy in their hearts, because They also felt that the new uniform was indeed better than the previous one.

In fact, Charlie’s new uniform is not just a color change. He copied the British Army uniform in the game “Napoleon Total War”. The soldiers have red uniforms on the upper body and white trousers on the lower body. With leather boots, a tall military cap with sideburns on the head, and a leather ammunition bag fixed to the soldier’s waist by two belts, they don’t have to worry about the ammunition bag falling off during exercise.

From the soldiers’ point of view, this uniform was designed by the emperor himself, and when they stood guard wearing this new uniform, they naturally couldn’t help but feel a little pride in their hearts.

Regardless of the mood of the soldiers on the street, in the Sona Palace in the center of the city, Charlie, who had just eaten breakfast, entered the cloakroom under the guidance of the servants. The maids in white tutu skirts did their best to change Charlie into today’s clothes. The royal robe to be worn during the ceremony.

Due to the colder weather, the maids first put Charlie in a white lined woolen shirt, and then a second layer of white shirt with gold embroidery.

The inside was busy, and the outside was also in full swing. After breakfast, the envoys from various countries who were arranged in the hotel took the carriage arranged by the royal family and went to the Sona Palace in an orderly manner. On the way to the palace, the envoys were also looking through the car window. Observing the soldiers standing guard on the streets, different from ordinary citizens, the messengers paid attention to the mental outlook of those soldiers. Through the mental outlook of these soldiers, they could also see the leopard and see the face of the entire imperial army.

What shocked them was that every soldier standing guard exuded a faint murderous aura. They were able to stand motionless on their posts without squinting, just like statues. An elite division with strict military discipline.

It does not mean that an army with strict military discipline is an elite, but if there is no military discipline, this army cannot become an elite.

The carriage quickly drove out of the street and entered the wide Republic Square – now it should be called the Empire Square. In the center of the Empire Square, a statue on horseback holding a saber instantly attracted the attention of every messenger. Before that, They had already learned from the hotel waiter who entertained them that the statue erected in the center of the square was built after the current emperor.

The Imperial Plaza is also full of heavily armed soldiers. At this time, local citizens have entered the plaza one after another, wanting to witness the coronation ceremony of the emperor with their own eyes. Although the coronation ceremony will take place inside the palace, the citizens on the plaza cannot see it. , but they still gathered here, wanting to hear the news from inside as soon as possible.

Moreover, according to the tradition of the Rumont Kingdom, the ruler needs to come out to meet his subjects after his coronation. The citizens gathered here, naturally, to see the emperor’s face when Charles came out.

When the envoys’ carriages arrived at the periphery of the palace, under the operation of the royal guards, the palace gate was slowly opened, and at the same time the messengers got off the carriages one after another. They looked at this historic palace and walked slowly towards the palace gate.

“Raise your gun, salute!”

Snapped–

As they advanced, the royal guards, who were lined up in two columns outside the palace gate, raised their rifles in front of them to the roars of the officers, and saluted the foreign envoys.

When the messengers walking between the guards saluted, they only felt a heavy pressure coming towards them from both sides, which directly made some of them breathless. This pressure only lasted for a few seconds. It disappeared without a trace. If it wasn’t for the coercion just now lingering in the hearts of the messengers, the messengers would even think that they had an illusion just now~www.mtlnovel.com~ It’s terrible! “

This was the first thought in the hearts of many messengers, and their sense of awe for this new empire was further deepened.

In addition to these foreign messengers, many nobles and capitalists in the empire and representatives of the citizens of Ankerton also entered the Sona Palace after them. It is worth mentioning that those nobles and capitalists are not only from the original Rumont Republic, There are also people from the former Hildi Kingdom, and even the king’s family of Hildi Kingdom was invited, but they didn’t come.

The time soon came to the noon of the day. It was a beautiful day, and the warm sun shone across the city of Ankerton. After confirming that the estimated time was up, the imperial artillery basking in the sun fired a salute again!

boom boom-

The deafening sound of cannons sounded outside the city, echoing over the entire city, and after the salute dissipated, the imperial military band deployed on the wall of the Sona Palace played a salute under the guidance of the conductor!

This also represents the official start of the coronation ceremony!
